Environmental Assessment for 'Community Beach Center' (RCS 04-899 & 05-350)
Abstract
The Eglin Community Beach Facility (CBF), the only military community gathering facility on Okaloosa Island, was destroyed by Hurricane (H.) Ivan on 16 Sep 04 (see Figure 1). Its predecessor, the NCO Beach Club, had previously been destroyed by H. Opal on 4 Oct 1995. Rebuilt on the same site but renamed the CBF, it was severely damaged again by H. Georges on 28 Sep 1998 and subsequently repaired. The purpose of this project is to construct a new Community Beach Center (CBC) to replace the CBF. Having suitable recreation facilities is a necessity for all large military installations. Eglin Air Force Base, being one of the largest in the world, requires these facilities to maintain morale of the military and civilian personnel employed on the base. These facilities help alleviate the stress associated with military duties.
